Get a 9800X3D.

What is the nature of the stream?
High speed 1080p60 desktop action?
High calc rescaler 720p60 VR action?

Do you currently rely on the CPU to run the encode in any way?
If you're glued to x264 medium and highly threaded games you probably have frame pacing issues.
Even on NVENC I would suggest 8c/16t at a minimum.
You can get away with 6c/12t if you know exactly what you're doing and it's NOT a pleasant guarantee.
This is why I will gate it and push you into 8c territory.

Do you preload tons of scenes, transitions, filters and plugins? Does your audio kit use any heavy CPU bound filters?
Are there any high calc tumors running in the background like Warudo, VTube Studio, VSeeFace, custom Unity toolkit?
12c/24t minimum. One of my favorites went 9900X3D for the above reasons.

It's not about cores - it's about overall CPU speed. A 6-core 7600 is faster in games than a 16-core 3950X.

If you prefer AMD, then look at any X3D that's compatible with your platform.
